Pregnancy brings with it many changes. But the major changes happen in your body. When you get pregnant, your body adapts itself for your baby. As the baby grows, the muscles in your abdomen stretches to make room for your baby. Sometimes, it also causes the separation of the two main muscles in your abdomen. Your pelvic floor also undergoes many changes. This may lead to problems like urinary and fecal incontinence. That is why it is so important to exercise after delivery. But any exercises will not do for you. You need to choose those exercises that are best for you. This will resolve problems quickly and also help you avoid any injuries and complications. The wrong exercises may sometimes cause complications especially after delivery. As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day, let us take a look at a few exercises that you can perform.
